Subject: Halo Reach Ending!!!

I was thinking about it and thought it would be cool if as the "end guy" of the game you would get to fight an ex-arbiter. That actually could be what a lot of the plot could be centered around.

I didnt see anyone else with this idea, so what would you guys think about a Arbiter/Spartan battle to end the series.

And for all you driving sequence fans... they could combine the driving (Halo 1) and the boss battle (Halo 2) and make a Halo 3-ish ending but way better cause an arbiter is way more fun to kill than spark and the Halo 3 driving was kinda boring compared to Halo CE.

You can't fight an ex Arbiter. For an Arbiter to stop being an Arbiter it has to be deceased.

WOW! For real, no sarcasm, you just opened up a bag of worms in my mind. That would be a sweet ending but I dont think they should focus the whole game around it. Not a huge driving fan but if they did it to where you had to drive to the arbitors location, just before he boards his flight off of reach and have a square off. OMG I hope this is in the game.

an exarbiter is a dead arbiter, so no. mabey an elite commander or something

He is not the ex-Arbiter yet... he becomes the ex-Arbiter after you kill him and I was calling him the "ex" so people would not think I was talking about the current Arbiter, because then I would have gotten spammed with "You cant fight the Arbiter on Reach cause he wasnt the Arbiter yet."


Does anyone have common sense:
1. On Reach he is the current Arbiter.
2. Now on the Halo timeline we have a new Arbiter, and this is why I refer to the old Reach Arbiter as ex-Arbiter.

i.e.
If King Fred was the king of England 500 years ago, and King Bob is the current king, then King Fred would be the ex-King of England. And to be an "ex-king" you have to die. Now I know he didnt rule England as a dead man.

Please people use a little logic.

Arbiters are sent only on Suicide missions. Escaping doesn't really follow the history of the Arbiter.

Edit: Oh please, don't insult my "logic". In a story we do not reference things in the past tense. You called him an Ex-Arbiter while referring to how the story plays out. This is impossible because the story cannot refer to him in the past tense, so logically you shouldn't either.

Don't try and cover your own mistakes by pretending you meant something else.

Interesting theory, also very possible.
Suprised this hasnt come up before.

ps. I thought that whole past tense thing was kinda obvious.

Did you even watch Halo Legends today or play Halo 2?
In Halo Legends they showed why it was shameful to be the Arbiter cause it wasnt always like that.
In Halo 2 the Arbiter you play as goes on many missions that he "escapes" from.



Sorry for the DP.

1) Irrelevant. This takes place long before Halo CE and has no effect on my argument for something just before Halo 2.
2) He is only sent on One non-suicidal mission, and this was simply a lead through to the ultimate suicidal mission. After his attempted murder by Tartarus is completely irrelevant, as he is no-longer part of the Covenant.

  • 11.22.2009 1:22 AM PDT

Im not going to join this little debate but maybe he isnt escaping, maybe Reach is his suicide mission.

This is also a possible. But i think it would be more dramitic with him escaping. And one more thing, if the new Arbiter had a "non-suicide" mission, why cant the old one?

  • 11.22.2009 2:32 PM PDT

-I was here

good idea

  • 11.22.2009 2:34 PM PDT

The new arbiter did not have a non-suicide mission when he was still with the covenant. Just to point that out.

  • 11.22.2009 2:45 PM PDT

i dont know what you want a new idea for. The campaign is just the book as a game if anything talk about features that will be in the game.

I want Halo 3 back how it was.

No such thing as exarbiter, they die as soon as they aren't Arbiter. But, there was an Arbiter on Reach, and Jervicho IV. Gos to show we kicked the Arbiters' asses! Except Thel's and Fal, they are cool. I hope you guys relize this isn't our current Arbiter Thel. It's a different one, and he probably won't show.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

No it most definitely is not.
